There's actually probably a legitimate case here for a class action lawsuit suing Google on behalf of its advertisers.
Assuming a $5 CPM, this article means Google is admitting to making at least $10 million from advertising to fake impressions.
- jre 14y agoI'm not sure about that. It seems that the flaw used (described in other comments here) just required to do a GET request on the video stream, not stream it fully. So whether or not fake impressions took place depends on how and when ad impressions are counted. I would think you need to download at least part of the ad for it to count as an impression.
- DominikR 14y agoI doubt that Google can be (successfully) sued because some other entity violated the ToS. You'd probably have to show that Google acted maliciously.
